“钟表之国”瑞士迎来了世界最长的树顶漫步栈道，这条名为“龙之路”的树顶漫步栈道全长1.5千米。
In the summer of 2021， the worlds longest treetop walkway opened in one of the most picturesque areas of the world， the Alpine resort of Laax， Switzerland. So， after a long winter of difficult lockdown restrictions， Brits looking for a much needed adventure in the great outdoors were able to experience a real “first”， as they were invited to experience Switzerland from a whole new vantage （优势） point.
The 1.5 km treetop walk is nestled in the canopy（树冠） of the trees up to 28 metres above the ground. One of the projects highlights is the 73metrelong slide， which visitors can use to spiral down from the trees above back to the earth， designed for all of the family to experience. Four platforms with seating spaced throughout and a unique view of the iconic Alpine landscape also offer a refreshing natural experience for the whole family， with opportunities to teach children about the local flora and fauna（动植物群） thanks to information boards along the way.
In keeping with the regions green and sustainable ideas， the treetop walk was built entirely from regionally sourced wood， designed to blend in with the surrounding nature， therefore keeping the impact on the environment to a minimum. Indeed， during the winter months， the walkway will be freed of snow using an electric snowblower， both quieter and more sustainable than a gasoperated alternative， enabling visitors to use the walkway yearround. The entire walkway is wheelchair accessible， with lifts at both ends of the path that take guests from the ground up to the walkway above.
Martina Calonder， spokesperson for Laax said， “Many of us are dreaming of an idyllic escape in the great outdoors this year， as we look to move forward from the tough months experienced in 2020， and this treetop walk will be the perfect tonic. Ideal for families wishing to reconnect their children to fresh mountain air and wildlife or even roadtrippers through the Alps after a picturesque photo opportunity and a new perspective of the forest， the treetop walk is designed to bring people together， slow us down， and make us stop， breathe， and appreciate the fresh air.”
